SmartPAT 5500
The Technical Specifications of the Tests performed by the SmartPAT 5500 Portable Appliance Tester are
as follows:
Earth Bond
The earth bonding specifications are taken at a nominal mains input supply of 110 V or 235 V rms, unless
otherwise stated.
High Current
Open Circuit Voltage 3 V rms ±10%
Test Current 5 A, 8 A or 26 A ±15% into 0.1 ohm load.
(in-built intelligent current limit)
Display Resolution 0.01 ohm to 19.99 ohm, then shows >20 ohm.
Display Accuracy ±(3% + 4 digits)
Test Duration 10s or 15s to 1 minute, dependent on time test button held down
Business Equipment
Open Circuit Voltage 3 V rms ±10%
Test Current 100 mA +20% -0% at 230 Vrms into 0.5 ohm load.
Display Resolution 0.01 ohm to 19.99 ohm, then shows >20 ohm.
Display Accuracy ±(3% + 4 digits)
Test Duration 10s or 15s to 1 minute, dependent on time test button held down
Pass Threshold 0.1 ohm steps up to 5 ohm then 0.5 ohm steps to 19.99 ohm
(user selectable)
Insulation Test
The earth bonding specifications are taken at a nominal mains input supply of 110 V or 235 V rms, unless
otherwise stated.
